swizec.com is now on TimberJS, a new React framework

This article details the migration of swizec.com, a 20-year-old blog, from Gatsby to TimberJS, a new React framework. The author explains the history of the website, from its early days as a webcomic and PHP site to its latest rewrite. The migration was driven by Gatsby's slow deployment times (45 minutes) and scalability issues. With TimberJS and React Server Components, deploys now take 4 minutes, and the site feels faster with interactive elements like voting and newsletter signups using server actions. The author praises TimberJS for its familiar React development experience compared to NextJS's approach to server components.
